After seeing this post on Lucullian Delights, I made a mental note to pick up some prunes during my next trip to the grocery store. I brought home a pack of prunes over the weekend and wasted no time in trying Ilva’s recipe out.

Method:In a microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate and the butter. Mix well.

Whisk together the egg and sugar. Add to the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture and mix. Incorporate the flour into the batter and stir until smooth.

Toss in the chopped prunes and mix to bring everything together.

Spoon the batter into a muffin pan. (I used a 6-cup pan.)Bake for 10 minutes or until set but still soft in the center. Serve warm.

Prunes are a fantastic addition to the recipe and the chocolate-prune combination was absolutely fabulous. In my opinion, the prunes helped to intensify the chocolate flavor. I know that I will be making this very often.
